Danielle May Poulette, 21, of Charlotte Street, is charged with aggravated assault, assault with a weapon (a knife), possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose and breaching a court order. The charges are the result of an incident at a Charlotte Street apartment between Poulette and a 34-year-old Glace Bay woman. Both received stab wounds requiring hospital treatment. The incident occurred May 31.

Poulette is also facing charges of assault with a weapon (a knife), assault and uttering a threat. Those offences were allegedly committed May 10.

The assessment will be completed at the East Coast Forensic Hospital in Dartmouth and will help determine whether the accused is fit to stand trial on the charges and whether she suffered from any mental illness at the time the offences were committed.
